76-79 have sometimes been treated as a single variable species, A. acutidens , and there is unusual taxonomic difficulty in the group. Nevertheless the regional variation reflected in the present treatment seems very significant, and well-grown specimens can usually be assigned to one of the four widespread species here adopted.
